Verdict
It's impossible to have much faith in Craiglands and Overton Lad nowadays while fellow veteran Rifleman finished a long way behind PLAYING THE FIELD at Worcester nine days ago. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is still 3lb lower than when scoring at Newcastle a couple of years ago, despite his penalty, and can go in again. On a line through Worcester runner-up Hinton Indiana, Plumpton scorer Flugzeug looks held but Simply Charles is getting closer and Le Pergolese was second here last time over a shorter trip. Ballyvoneen was second over track and trip on Monday but does most of his winning at Plumpton.
